I realize that the column was a little disjointed, or more disjointed than usual, but it was a very frightening time for me, and I had to face some demons head on, so the structure of that column accurately reflected my mental state at the time.

Just which planet is in retrograde this month??? We have Orange Man spewing idiocies south of the 49th; supposed Russian collusion in the White House; Samsung (one of South Korea’s largest companies and Apple’s biggest competition) working the PR (and denial) machine as their chief-cook-and-bottle-washer Lee Jae-yong is about to be indicted for bribery, embezzlement and corruption along with four more Samsung executives; a right cock-up at the Oscars; an extremely temperamental and indecisive Mother Nature here in Ontario (shorts and sandals one day, snow the next); friends falling like bowling pins to a rather nasty flu/cold bug creeping around, (and this one comes back to haunt you if you’re not careful); an accused abuser wins a Best Actor Oscar.
Nadia Elkharadly: Indie Week 2012 – That’s a wrap
Posted in Opinion with tags Cai.ro, Cherry Cola's, Darryl Hurs, DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, Glen Matlock, Indie Artists, Indie Music, Indie Week, Kink Ador, Nadia Elkharadly, Sarah Riches, the Bovine Sex Club, The Bright Road, The El Mocambo, The Horseshoe Tavern, The Maladies of Adam Stokes on October 16, 2012 by segariniIt’s been a lazy Monday for me today as I recover from yet another multi-day music festival in Toronto. This Sunday night (or Monday morning if you want to get technical) marked the end of Indie Week 2012. It’s only the second Indie Week that I’ve attended and taken part in, but it’s rapidly becoming my favourite music festival in our fair city.
If you haven’t heard of Indie Week, you probably haven’t been walking around downtown Toronto with your eyes open; the intrepid indie week volunteer team has been diligently postering the city for weeks leading up to the launch party.
